Redux<\/em><\/span> means to revisit, bring back, re-release. \u00a0This last week of 2014, we —the bloggers here at Girlfriends Coffee Hour—are each \u2018revisiting\u2019 a blog we wrote earlier this year.<\/p>\n

We would love to share with you just a bit about how very good God has been to us! \u00a0He has given us all so much grace and mercy, blessings and provision, protection and guidance! \u00a0He has led us and taught us through His Holy Spirit so many incredible things! \u00a0He has molded, and chastised, and encouraged us to be daughters with humble hearts who are dependent upon Him. \u00a0And He has helped us to be strong, committed, and faithful women \u00a0who love Him and desire to bring Him much honor and glory and majesty.<\/p>\n

We pray that our words would encourage you also…and draw You deeper into relationship with the One Who loves you so! \u00a0Here are my friend Kim Spring’s words.<\/p>\n

\u2766<\/span><\/h1>\n

After Christmas, and now the new year is on the way…I look back on some of the songs that really touched my life. \u00a0This one Come As You Are<\/em><\/strong> still<\/span> brings me to my knees. The fact that He accepts me just as I am, loves me, and forgives my every sin is totally humbling! \u00a0And one of the hardest things for me to do is to rest at His feet. {I am working on this.}<\/p>\n

“Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can’t heal”; I am claiming this, accepting this, that there is nothing too big or small, old or new problem, whether it is my own pit I have jumped in or whether it is \u00a0a pit I’ve been pushed into. \u00a0God can heal and redeem and renew! \u00a0Will you claim this with me and believe too that all is okay \u00a0and you can bring anything to the Cross. And most of all, you \u00a0CAN come as you are<\/em>. You WILL find grace and mercy. You WILL find rest and you will find love unconditional. \u00a0Can I invite you to come along with me? \u00a0We can be<\/em> just as we are!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 * \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u271e \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n

Come out of sadness from wherever you\u2019ve been<\/span>
\n Come broken hearted let rescue begin<\/span>
\n Come find your mercy<\/span>
\n Oh sinner, come kneel<\/span>
\n Earth has no sorrow<\/span>
\n That Heaven can\u2019t heal<\/span><\/p>\n

Lay down your burdens<\/span><\/em>
\n Lay down your shame<\/span><\/em>
\n All who are broken<\/span><\/em>
\n Lift up your face<\/span><\/em>
\n Oh wanderer, come home<\/span><\/em>
\n You\u2019re not too far<\/span><\/em>
\n So, lay down your hurt<\/span><\/em>
\n Lay down your heart<\/span><\/em>
\n Come as you are<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s hope for the hopeless<\/span>
\n And all those who\u2019ve strayed<\/span>
\n Come sit at the table<\/span>
\n Come taste the grace<\/span>
\n There\u2019s rest for the weary<\/span>
\n Rest that endures<\/span>
\n Earth has no sorrow<\/span>
\n That Heaven can\u2019t cure<\/span><\/p>\n

Come as you are<\/span>
\n Fall in His arms<\/span>
\n Come as you are<\/span>
\n There\u2019s joy for the morning<\/span>
\n Oh sinner, be still<\/span>
\n Earth has no sorrow<\/span>
\n That Heaven can\u2019t heal<\/span><\/p>\n
